What Image Does Your Email Address Say About You?
by Gina at
If you’re anything like me you probably have a minimum of 5 different email accounts that you maintain. With so many sites offering (even requiring if you want to view their content) free accounts, it can be pretty tempting to come up with some cutesy address. If you are one...
California Takes Another Step in Health Care Equality
by Becky Ramsey at
I received an e-mail today from Lambda Legal announcing that the California Supreme Court ruled today that doctor’s cannot deny treatment to patients based on their religious views about gays and lesbians.

Wal-Mart: Prices Aren’t the Only Things That Are Falling
by Kelly at
Last year, I posted about Wal-Mart’s aggressive stance on paying property taxes; not surprisingly, Wal-Mart isn’t a fan of paying property tax and has challenged a disproportionately high percentage of assessments for its stores (more than 2,100 property tax challenges nationwide). I titled the piece “Does Wal-Mart Want Your...

Do You Take Time To Celebrate Little Successes? Don’t Get Caught In The Hype Of Big Wins
by Yvonne Russell at
With the Olympics, it’s all too easy to get caught up with Gold, Gold, Gold! A gold medal is wonderful, but the notion of failing if an athlete doesn’t win gold is an unhealthy one. Unfortunately, it is becoming quite prevalent with commentators and in the news reports. This attitude often...

The Short Buzz: A Cocktail to Defy Space and Time

In Sydney, Australia, the philosophy is being applied in a sprits of beach essence sprayed over the faces of blindfolded consumers strapped to an I-Pod. Grant Collins’ aforementioned design is one...

The Spokesman Review, a newspaper from Spokane Washington, has been tweeting coverage from the courtroom of a controversial local murder case. The Idaho Statesman is also tweeting the case, but what is of greater interest to me is the way that the two papers are using twitter. The Statesman is...
Social Networking: — Who’s in Your Business Conversation?
by ME Liz Strauss at
As I work on a research project that has me going through blog archives, an interesting pattern has turned up. Things we were talking about in 2005 and 2006, still apply to what we’re doing now. In particular, the conversation about social networking hasn’t changed as much as all [...]...
The Bob Barr Option
by thursday at
Bob Barr’s name will be on the ballot in all fifty states, come November. To say that Barr is a viable third party candidate is putting the situation mildly. Ralph Nader was accused of ’spoiling’ John Kerry’s run for president in 2004. Nader was only on the ballot in 34 states. I...
